Angel Reese talks fashion tips with Law Roach on ‘Unapologetically Angel’ podcast | Sporting News

Celebrity stylist Law Roach is the latest notable guest to make an appearance on Angel Reese’s podcast  “Unapologetically Angel.”

Joining the show to talk about all things high fashion, the two had a conversation about fashion, confidence and more as they chatted over the course of 45 minutes. Roach has styled some of the world’s most famous celebrities in the duration of his career thus far, including being the main stylist to star actress Zendaya. As for Reese, the WNBA star is quickly becoming known for her sense of fashion in the world of couture.

Recent examples include the Gianvito Rossi sandals and red crochet look she sported at the 2024 Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show last month, and her blonde debut on the CFDA Awards red carpet. Another recent update is a multiyear endorsement contract extension with Reebok, with a signature shoe release slated for release in 2026.

Here are some key points of what the two talked about.

On self confidence

“For me, growing up, I was always a tall girl, so nothing fit me,” Reese told Roach. “It was kind of hard for me to feel confident and comfortable within myself. And I was also a Black woman, so I just felt like I stood out,” she added. “I was not ordinary. I was just this exotic girl who was taller than everybody.”

On mastering the art of walking in heels

“Another hard thing for me is heels, like I hate heels. In them, my feet always hurt. What’s the most comfortable heel for you to wear, or even for Zendaya?,” she asked the famous stylist to which he replied, “She (Zendaya) wears So Kate (which is a popular model from Christian Louboutin) that’s the hardest shoe to wear.”

Reese then mentioned that she believes the arch in her foot isn’t used to heels due to all of her years playing basketball. To that point, he offered some helpful advice. “You gotta start just wearing them around in your house. It’s really not your feet, it’s your ankles—You gotta strengthen your ankles in heels.”

On fashion

Roach also used the opportunity to give Reese some additional fashion tips. “This is my process, if I had a fit in with you, I would have racks and racks of clothes. And I would ask you to the racks and tell me everything you love right away and then I’d ask you to go back and tell me everything you hated. I’ll create to rails and we’ll go through everything you love and we’ll start to build from that and so that’s how to help you cultivate your style and then I have another rack and it’s things I think you should be wearing”
